Abstract

A method and mobile station for operating a directional antenna is disclosed. The method comprises: causing metrics for each of a plurality of antenna angles to be calculated in a medium access control (MAC) layer, providing said metrics to a Station Management Entity (SME) separate from said MAC layer; and directing the antenna to a best antenna angle based on input from said SME.
